Cloud syncing and sharing software company Dropbox today announced that it has released an image compression algorithm called Lepton under an Apache open source license on GitHub. Lepton can both ...

The compression algorithm we are perhaps most familiar with is zip compression – although it's more formally known as 'Deflate'. This is a good example of a 'lossless' compression algorithm ...

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

If file sizes are given limits, the human brain outperforms computers at compressing the data needed to recreate an image.

Stable Diffusion is a machine learning algorithm capable of generating weirdly complex and (somewhat) believable images just from interpreting natural language descriptions. The text-to-image AI ...

Google's new algorithm shrinks JPEG files by 35 percent The Guetzli encoder could literally cut down the size of the web.

To compare the effect of classic Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) and JPEG2000 compression algorithms on detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) lesions. In total, 45 colour fundus ...

You may have noticed small, blocky irregularities in JPEG images. These compression artifacts are a result of how the format’s algorithm reduces file size, and they can be very distracting.
